palitococo (on 26 May 2010)Its not a bad game, i love it and im eager for the sequel.
And wait because this doesnt sell better because FFXIII was release it very close, now people that want a jrpg and just finish FFXIII gonna turn to WKC, just look others sales recently, its selling better.

scottsdone (on 30 April 2010)I haven't played in like 2 months. I loaded the game a couple days ago and now I'm lost in Greed's underbelly. This is like the 10th time I've done this with a jRPG. Second time stuck in a "sewer" like area (Xenogears).

Remnant (on 28 April 2010)I like it. Story mode is short, but is entertaining. I have a friend who plays Online everyday since released, he is playing it right now. Online can be addicted, granted somewhat repetitive. It gets harder at GR12 but to get there prepare to sink in lots and lots of hours! I have 90+hr into it and I'm GR9. I don't regret buying it.

scottsdone (on 27 April 2010)I pray they spend a long ass time working and fixing up the battle system, or I'm not even going to consider buying it.

palitococo (on 27 April 2010)Maybe 650K-700K for end of the year, thats not bad at all!

jbrist (on 15 April 2010)Lol I'm ashamed at how poor the sales in EU did, I know me and one of my mates bought copies :D

But still, really terrible.

Although I guess that's what happens when a game comes out really late, and with no advertisement whatsoever. Oh well, atleast it sold SOME, I mean, 30k sales, at Ģ40 (It was Ģ45 for me though D:) is still Ģ1.2m/$1.86m, so I guess it didn't do too bad in terms of making money, since I assume they already made profits with it in JP/US anyway...

I guess it would've sold better if people didn't import too, I know a few people that imported the JP version, and some that imported the US version, although they were like 2 weeks away from each other. Maybe if they release them quicker next time, the sales will be better in EU, I hope so, since I don't want them abandoning us, it's one of my favourite games of this generation, and my favourite JRPG this generation too D:

tonio_13 (on 08 April 2010)WTF, of course the sequel it is coming to europe, and translated please like the first.
I hope it has legs

Ravage27 (on 08 April 2010)not sure if you are playing the same game, but WKC is one of the better JRPGs this gen and actually tried something fresh, same can't be said for *cough* nvm

grimygunz (on 07 April 2010)yea im pretty sure the sequel is only coming to the NA region next time.

superbaboonfacex (on 07 April 2010)the sales in europe are sooo bad, they don't actually expect to be getting the sequel now do they? it's a decent rpg hopefully the sequel is much better though

Rei (on 04 April 2010)Shitty sales for a shitty game. Thanks everyone for not buying this crap.

Saintdante (on 11 March 2010)Wow only 19k in 2 weeks that's like week 3 in the U.S.

Simulacrum (on 09 March 2010)Worst game this gen.I mean of those games that would have made difference.

Seraphic_Sixaxis (on 07 March 2010)Sad thing is our pals in EU advertised the game really well to, the UK did the most work.

Yet 200k, 77k and 14k is the result so far.

I don't understand some people, this is almost like FF12 except it has online mode, a lobby mode, town creation, HUGE knights to use in story mode, custom characters and is a 3 part story yet FF12 will have more sells then this in the end most likely.

Unless ur friend is buying over 200K copies i don't think this can reach a million :P

jneul (on 05 March 2010)don't worry guys, i am sure WKC will get at least 1million sales., i just told my friend how much i enjoyed it, she was not going to buy it coz of the reviews, but today she went out and bought that baby lol

Packie (on 04 March 2010)Despite the harsh reviews, WKC is showing strong sales numbers.
Defintely picking this up after it gets cheaper.

awsmjayloser (on 04 March 2010)As you can tell, critics are just bitchy these days. Why would the average critic score be 6.2 and the community average is 8.2?
I see a discrepancy . . .

Hero_time88 (on 03 March 2010)The budget version has already been out in Japan for a while. It only sold about 10k, probably due the bad word of mouth.

iWarMachine (on 01 March 2010)also, this game has more chances to get into 1M than just surpass LO..if the Eu release date goes well, then the game will most likely have average legs, plus the greatest hits version in japan, and the WKC2 boost will give this game enough copies sold to get into the 1M mark.

huaxiong90 (on 01 March 2010)"And for the record it won't come anywhere close to the LO sales in the US". Big deal, Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles already did that. So it's no accomplishment.

Blood_Tears (on 28 February 2010)@Mubtee
Why even bring up LO sales in this? Is that supposed to mean something, like a record for sales or something? Btw VC outsold LO in NA, so take your trolling elsewhere..

jonnhytesta (on 28 February 2010)got it today. so far so good(8/10) the battle system is really fast . i love those combos:)

letsdance (on 28 February 2010)rpg70 - I say .75 million is doable if it stopped selling in Japan and NA right now and then ad in EU's LT numbers. No. I say this will make .85 million if it doesn't get adjusted down.

huaxiong90 (on 26 February 2010)@Rawnchie14: Who cares dude? People are supporting JRPG games in general, which is a supposedly dying genre.

makingmusic476 (on 26 February 2010)I'm enjoying this game a lot more than I thought I would. I've always had trouble sticking with JRPGs for more than a few hours, and given that I stopped playing Level 5's own Rogue Galaxy only 5-6 hours in out of frustration (damn jail!), I figured this would do something similar to me given the crappy reviews.

But it's not. I'm like 12 hours in and I'm enjoying it quite a lot.

I'm going to wait awhile before I really judge it, but I get the feeling GameTrailers' 7.6 review was closest to the mark, and the 6s and 4s and whatnot were stupidly low. I've played better RPGs this gen to be sure (Valkyria Chronicles and especially Demon's Souls), but this is a fun romp all the same.

Rawnchie14 (on 25 February 2010)VC and LO smash this game. Don't know why people continue to back a just, straight up mediocre JRPG. We deserve better, my goodness.

Saintdante (on 25 February 2010)Considering the horrid professional reviews WKC is actually selling pretty well, that's great because I want WKC2 localized asap!

nen-suer (on 22 February 2010)Am hoping for a good opening week in others

Mubtee (on 13 February 2010)It had a good first week because people are starved for this kind of experience, and they don't care if it's a mediocre product. They will even convince themselves it's good. Either way, I guarantee this won't hit 4k in the states.

jonnhytesta (on 13 February 2010)Game Chronicles and psx extreme just gave it a 85 and a 89. we are going up babe.

outlawauron (on 12 February 2010)Hmm, somehow I think the first week number may be a smidge different in the future.

snyperdud (on 12 February 2010)Good NA opening. Maybe some good legs will develop.

StockoPS3 (on 12 February 2010)haters can stuff it, its incredicle ESPECIALLY The online!

Aj_habfan (on 12 February 2010)Wow... have a hard time believing it had that good of a first week.

RukiSama (on 12 February 2010)probably it will sell bad in Others.. but still can reach 0.7M ltd at least
great game however!

Bruno Muņoz (on 12 February 2010)Nice opening I see a lifetime sales in Americas of 300k units.

Seraphic_Sixaxis (on 12 February 2010)Just beat the game, its amazing, bring on WKC2.

palitococo (on 12 February 2010)This game its great, media reviews sux, o love it, if u want a real jrpg this is it.

Almost 80K its goood, lets see those legs.

Sholities (on 11 February 2010)I think this game is great. I hesitated for a moment from the reviews, then realized that I was gonna buy it anyways.

I'm glad I listened to myself on this one.

Wagram (on 11 February 2010)Finished the game, and my score has been finalized.

KingHenry (on 11 February 2010)Judging from the reviews, this game is bad. On metacritic it has aggregated score of 63 from 18 critics.
This is kind of disappointing, I was really looking forward to pick this game.
I know fanboys will be like no it's a great game, the reviews are wrong about it.

LatinLegacy (on 08 February 2010)@ArcticGabe That has to hurt =X lol. I don't think the game is that bad but it's not great either. Critics scores are reflecting that as most have been average thusfar. It's so far from being the greatest game ever like Avarice mentioned though. That's virtually insulting to the JRPG genre =P. WKC is playable but I wouldn't consider it anything special to the genre.

pinkyxyz (on 07 February 2010)i love the story of this game, its simple yet somewhat engaging. I leave the deep stories for final fantasy. and they game is basically turn based it just that you can move around while your waiting

Kaixes (on 06 February 2010)Terrible story, but I personally love this game.

scottsdone (on 05 February 2010)The game is amazing. Combat leaves something to be desired, but once you progress enough in the story it doesn't feel like you're sitting there for 10 seconds doing nothing. Once you setup combos and get a party it becomes very fun.

The online is addicting as hell. I'm constantly looking for farming spots for materials and working on my "town". Co-op is amazing. This is my Monster Hunter alternative since I discovered the PS2 version waaay late and it was already dead.. And I don't want a Wii unless it's for Zelda. *crosses fingers for a PS3/360 MH in the future*

forevercloud3000 (on 05 February 2010)This game is being severely underratted by the reviewers. Its definitely 8 range for me.

The combat is top notch, transforming into a super being hasn't been this satisfying since PowerRangers first season or Goku going SS1!

Avarice28 (on 05 February 2010)Greatest game ever and so deep in the customization category.

psytic (on 04 February 2010)well I bought it cause it was sitting beside Mass Effect 2 in the new game section. So far its pretty good. Id say 7-8ish out of 10. If you liked the battles in FF 11 or 12 then id say get it, if you didn't you probably wont like this one either.

Spoony (on 04 February 2010)lol ! don't make me a opinion from a website review ! Personnally I love this game !

snyperdud (on 28 January 2010)I don't think it'll do a million unless it gets amazing reviews.

Anyway, only a few days to go!

Seraphic_Sixaxis (on 28 January 2010)huh? i just realized to, the official thread has more info the any of the actual news on the chartz! amazing. if it wasn't for such semi-strong community interest we wouldn't have come this far. thanks guys.

Seraphic_Sixaxis (on 28 January 2010)5 more days... just 5... and the ultimate customizable JRPG well be ours...

palitococo (on 26 January 2010)NeoStar we are on the same boat, im checking day by day my preorde at amazon, hoping (no much hope) for release date dalivery. I have the dart1250 copy with mine too.

NeoStar9 (on 25 January 2010)Looking forward to playing this. Just hoping Amazon might surprise me and have it to me on the day it releases but not holding out hope for that. I just hope it get some advertising. The features themselves should get the game attention. I've been looking forward to this game for long time and to be honest I have no interest in FF13 (or the series that much anymore after being a fan since FF1)

Dark Odin (on 24 January 2010)this will end up having the same sales that rogue galaxy did.
but Iīd love if this can cross one million mark!

superbaboonfacex (on 13 December 2009)its going to do decently in america people are still hyped about this game. It should probably have come out sooner though and its release date is very close to ff13

Ramser (on 04 December 2009)American release- i just jizzed in my pants

Max King of the Wild (on 17 September 2009)Wow... I'm really late to respond to these guys but I will anyway.

DQ is an SE game.

Andrew - Everywhere except Japan is what I my 600k includes.

Heavenly_King (on 11 September 2009)I hope this game can sell 500,000 units in JP. Well at least we dont need to worry about a sequel, because they are already working on it XD

TheConduit (on 10 September 2009)Considering how DQ is such an extablished franchise in Japan, DQ 9 score a perfect 40 from famitsu and the difference in PS3 and DS install bases I think the sales are on track

MetalSabe (on 10 August 2009)I really hope this game is awesome, some of those game play videos I've seen aren't doing this game any favors.

Squall_Leonhart (on 02 August 2009)Localise this game NOW Level 5! I want it for the EU lol

Mutiverse37 (on 27 May 2009)I don't know if it's just the lack of hype (which is a good thing these days) or what, but I'm just not as interested as I was back in January. As it is, I could take it or leave it. That kind of bothers me............

Epoch (on 26 May 2009)I'd like to see a user review of this game to see if its worth getting when it hits the rest of the world

axumblade (on 25 May 2009)@Egghead. Keep in mind this is just the Japanese version of the game. It'll hit the US and EU soon with any luck and might come close to a million (not sure though).

oh, I also forgot to mention, do you really expect this to sell 100k first week, and 600k in america? Or are you adding Europe into those totals?

RE5, has only sold 600k so far on the ps3 in america, I doubt WKC is really going to trump RE5's sales.

andrewclear (on 19 April 2009)Might do well in the west, but, the issue is the battle system. I personally can't wait to get ahold of this game, but many people who complained about combining MMO gameplay with an offline RPG (ie ffxii) will complain about this game as well. The battle system is almost a direct clone of FFXI's battle system (which I happen to enjoy very much).

Other knock on this game is the length of the game, it's a very short RPG.

I've read the reviews on 1up, and RPGfan. I'll still get it to play it, but, it is definitely a niche title, and I don't see it doing more than 1 million world wide.

*~Onna76~* (on 24 March 2009)I doubt this game will sell well in the West especially after all the negativity from the Japanese. Personally I wait until reviews here and mostly what gamers have to say.

Globox (on 23 February 2009)I think Yakuza 3 bundle, RE5 bundle and FF7/FF13 thingy could help this game, give it some legs maybe. I hope it can hit 400k by end of the year but that is probably not going to happen.

You do realize that Japanese retailers who send their product overseas still have to order the game from the publisher. Are you saying that if 10,000 copies were imported, those 10,000 that Sony shipped and retailers sold somehow do not count?

Are you ridiculous? If I went to Japan and bought a few games, should those not count because I'm bringing them back to the US?

Hyams (on 27 January 2009)Zehria: I doubt that many copies were imported. There's no English language option (neither dub nor sub), which kindda limits its importing potential.

But why shouldn't it count? Apart from it being impossible to differentiate between imported and non-imported sales, it doesn't make any difference in the long run, as each imported sales is a sale lost in the West. Total sales will be the same, regardless of importing.

TheInfectedBy590 (on 24 January 2009)@luisgvm
well that sounds like a badass rumor! :p Hope it's true.

luisgvm (on 24 January 2009)appareantly there is a rumor that this game is going to be a trilogy because the end was like WTF and some of the cgi they released in the trailers before the game coming out are not in the game. but it is just a rumor.

TheInfectedBy590 (on 23 January 2009)Damn it, when are they planning on releasing this stateside?! Do Want!

Deviation59 (on 22 January 2009)Down to 10k sales in the fourth week, so it looks like this one won't be selling too many more copies. Not too bad considering the install base and the fact that it's a new IP but it's a shame that the PS3 hasn't done better in Japan as this could have been a bigger game.

I'd really like to see JRPGs take hold on the PS3 - before Final Fantasy XIII comes out.

halil23 (on 10 January 2009)Interesting fact:
Japan - WKC 2 weeks sales have outsold 2 Squarenix xbox exclusives total sales combined as of now!!!
To Squarenix, stop releasing games on xblox and you will see bigger sales in Japan like this one....sigh
